Ingredients

Scale

3 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)

2/3 cup evaporated milk

12 oz (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the pan:

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

 

Boil the sugar mixture:

In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 4-5 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent burning.

 

Add chocolate and marshmallow:

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Quickly add the marshmallow creme and mix until fully combined.

 

Add vanilla and nuts:

Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

 

Pour and set:

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Let it cool at room temperature until fully set, about 4 hours (or refrigerate for faster setting).

 

Cut and serve:

Once the fudge has set, cut it into small squares and enjoy!

 

Notes

  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
  • For a fun twist, add a swirl of peanut butter, caramel, or top with crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer, less sweet flavor.
